Florida Air Lines was founded as Florida Air Taxi in Tampa. Purchased Air South and Shawnee Airlines in 1975 but all continued under their own names. The carrier shut down on 11Jan1980 but was briefly resurrected later in the year, and conducted flights as an Air Florida Commuter carrier for a brief period in 1981. With debt mounting, Florida Airlines was reorganised as Southern International on 08Aug1981 only to fold yet again four months later
~ Florida Airlines connected nine Florida communities with extensive scheduled commuter flights. Points served were Tampa, Fort Myers, Punta Gorda/Port Charlotte, Ocala, Gainsville, Jacksonville, Sarasota, Talahassee and Miami. Frequency was three daily services to most points, rather more to Fort Myers. Florida Airlines also offered air-taxi and charter services
